'Our manifesto for health is the blueprint from which the NHS can grow and thrive'

In our manifesto for political parties ahead of the 2019 General Election we outlined, using the expertise and experience of doctors, the key solutions to meeting the pivotal challenges facing the NHS.

Patients and doctors need parliamentarians of all parties to support their concerns and to prioritise the NHS and its workforce. From addressing Brexit-related medicine shortages, to waiting lists, to workforce gaps and the damaging impact of pension taxation policies driving doctors out of the profession, to cuts to public health – our manifesto for health is the blueprint from which the NHS can grow and thrive.
